There's a Fog Upon L.A., And My Friends Have Lost Their Way: Angels at Jays Game Thread

PrintLos Angeles Angels at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 3, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
I missed a couple of links this afternoon that I had intended to add. One is to a bunch of photo-shopped Blue Jay baseball cards that are kind of cute and funny at Morehardball.
Also in answer to a question I sent him, Sky Kalkman put up a fanpost at Beyond the Boxscore linking to a bunch of studies on the subject. So if you haven't read enough about pitch counts yet today, there is a bunch more here. I always find I don't write carefully enough when I bring up these subjects because people jump way past what I say, figuring I'm insulting baseball or something by mentioning that Doc threw more pitches yesterday then he ever had before. Like I said in the post, I wouldn't get on Cito for leaving him out there, but I'd watch in the future. I do though think it was strange that he didn't get anyone up in the pen until after the 2 out single. By the time those pitchers were warm the game could have been lost, so why bother at that point?
For those wondering why Dirk Hayhurst was called up over Accardo, Jay assistant GM Alex Anthopoulos talked to Jordan Bastian about it. Short answer is that the Jays were rewarding him for showing loyalty to the team and not signing with someone else when they removed him from the 40 man roster this spring. Longer answer, click the link, but here is part of it:
Hayhurst made five starts out of necessity to open the year and posted a 6.75 ERA in those outings. As a reliever, the right-hander was much sharper, limiting hitters to a .239 average with 16 strikeouts, five walks and a 3.44 ERA over 18 1/3 innings across 10 games. More than anything, it was his showing this spring that won Gaston over.
I think Dirk's showing this spring won us all over. I hope he has a long stay with the team.
Tonight's pitchers are Casey Janssen (1-1,4.15) and Jered Weaver (4-2, 2.36). Weaver's been great this year. Jays bats have their work cut out for them, but they looked great last night. Janssen is 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA against the Angels, his home town team, so we can hope that he keeps it up. Starting lineups:
Lind gets to wear a glove today, Millar DHes after a good day with the bat yesterday. Vernon Wells has had a bad week after looking like he was turning it around last week, .143 in his last 4 games. Would be nice if he could drink some of the water Alex Rios has been into. Rios is .467 the last 4 games, with homers in the last two and had a good May. Hill and Scutaro snapped hitting streaks yesterday but the way they are going you feel sure they start up new ones today.
The Thread title is from one of the lessor Beatle's songs, Blue Jay Way, which George Harrison wrote. It isn't about the road that Rogers Center is on.

Braves released Glavine
Would be a nice cheap pickup, but I imagine 28 other teams think so too.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I don't know
he’s 43 and wasn’t good at all last year (77 ERA+). Don’t think he’s pitched at all this season. Is he really more effective than the SPs we have sent out so far this season?
He had basically finished his minor league rehab
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
The Ken Rosenthal story said six scoreless in his last start
I’ll check what his totals were.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
but why do we need either of those guys?
we’d have to pay more than the league minimum to pick them up and we already have an overabundance of effective, cheap pre-arbitration SPs with options
If Romero needs to go down and Purcey's not ready to come back
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Looks like he made 4 rehab starts.
For some reason he had two in the International league and then they had him make one in A ball, which was the last one. 4 runs on 17 hits over 16 innings total, 3 walks, 5 Ks.

SuckaMD is supremely confident about tonight
so now we’re even
How long are we going to have to deal with SkyDome retrospectives
before the game starts tonight?
I very clearly remember that first game...
the local CTV station wouldn’t preempt the news…so we missed the start then when the news was over they showed a half hour infomercial on the dome then joined the game that was half over
doesn't look like they are going to make a big thing about it
so that’s good. Game seems like it will be underway soon
Since TSN doesn't show many games anymore
I don’t really remember Rod Black as a play-by-play guy. Any thoughts on Rod v Jamie?
Really?
Rod Black annoys me. The stench of his work when CTV did the Olympics is still strong.

it's usually described thusly
control is the ability to throw strikes (ie, not walk guys), command is the ability to throw quality strikes (ie, not get shelled while doing so).
AJ Burnett lacks control but has command, Casey Janssen has control but lack command, Doc has both
Control is an ability to throw a strike.
Command is an ability to throw an individual pitch where you want it +/- 4 inches.

he was less than fun

Seriously, why did Millar get this start?
his 2 for 5 career against Weaver?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
(Both singles)
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
A hit of any sort would be nice right now.

Why didn't he swing? That was in his wheel house?

Those could have both been called strikes

And then those two were

and that could have been

well, Weaver's gonna get pulled after that
and the Angels bullpen has largely been poor this season. Though our offense hasn’t done much to suggest that they can hit anyone tonight, but we shall see
It's our only hope..

What happened to the Inglett/Bautista platoon in left?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
That 2 for 5, Torgen mentioned.

Carlson deserves better

But it could have been a 2 out non-RBI single

Mediocre command and 85mph fastball = YIKES!

it was not to be tonight
Weaver is the Jays 09 version of Garza in 08
At least he's not in our division
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
yeah, I just hope they can hit Garza better this year
looks like a dam llama out there with all the spitting
if Banters are ever at a game and see someone interfere with the ball
… throw your beer on him
it is all good – lol
That's not going to get a rally started, Rod
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Morales playing way off the line
but Scoot managed to sneak it past him somehow.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
He already had a day off Monday
and last Thursday… how many days off does a guy need?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
And that double play won't help, Aaron
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Hill also overdue for a break
this is why Inglett called up
what? does Cito not think Inglett can hit better than 0-11?
If Inglett plays second
that’s another game with Bautista or Millar in the lineup.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
If there's to be an exciting comeback tonight
it will be without me. I’m off to board game night.
